Need some advice with forwarding trailer hydraulics

A bit embarrassing but I’m having a bit of trouble working out which pipes go where. I’ve just got a BMF forwarding trailer to go on the back of our valtra 6600. I’ve got the crane working from the right hand two connections (only one plugged in on the photo) and the brakes sorted I’m just having trouble with the steering drawbar. Should it not go into the two left hand connections as they are in the second photo?

Cheers for your responses, as you can probably tell I’m new to this side of forestry. It doesn’t work in the left hand two. One ram on the drawbar will extend if just one is piped into that side but it doesn’t when they’re both in. 

I’ll give those ones by the wheel arch a try tomorrow. I didn’t want to keep guessing and damage something.

our valtra we have to have the crane off to use steering drawbar.

 

not sure what your setup is but do you have in cab like one short lever and one taller for spools?

 

we use short one to run crane and taller on left/right to use drawbar.   maybe try one set into wheel arch ports.
